after graduating St. Paul's

Published

I was wondering if anyone had issues transferring to a BS nursing degree program after getting their AAS from St. Paul's school of nursing? I was thinking about applying there but have heard horror stories and now I'm not sure.

Yesterday I went to st Pauls school in S.I. to get information for the nursing program. So far I haven't hear anything negative about the school except that they are very expensive!!

I would say if possible, go straight to a BSN program. It will be quicker than ASN to BSN plus you dont have to deal with re-applying to BSN and you will have better chance of getting jobs. ASN grads are having an extreme difficult time with jobs. UNless of course, you go work in rural areas far from any city, then ASNs are hired more. But if you plan to work in a city, BSN makes more financial sense. Many people thought they will get their ASN RN first then get a job and then do BSN. However that hasn't been the case past few years...as very few if any ASNs get jobs and so they have to go to BSN right away without having an RN job to help with the cost.There's several affordable BSN programs in NYC including the CUNYs : HUnter, Lehman, City Tech.

I've heard since they don't have some accreditation not all BSN programs will accept your st pauls nursing associates. Also it's $44 thousand dollars for your associates, that's a ridiculous amount of money to spend. St. Paul's queens and SI are the same thing just different locations
